< Genesis 14 >

1 At that time Amraphel was king of Shinar, and he allied himself with Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim.
Nangyari na sa mga araw nina Amrafel, hari ng Sinar, Ariok, hari ng Elasar, Kedorlaomer, hari ng Elam, at Tidal, hari ng Goyim,
2 They attacked Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar).
na nakipagdigma sila laban kina Bera, hari ng Sodoma, Birsha, hari ng Gomorra, Shinab, hari ng Adma, Shemeber, hari ng Zeboim, at sa hari ng Bela (tinatawag ding Zoar).
3 All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
Ang limang mga hari ay nagsama-sama sa Lambak ng Sidim (na tinatawag ding Dagat Asin).
4 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
Labindalawang taon silang nanilbihan kay Kedorlaomer, pero naghimagsik sila sa ika-labintatlong taon.
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Pagkatapos sa ikalabing apat na taon, dumating at nilusob nina Kedorlaomer at ng mga haring kasama niya ang mga Refaita sa Astarot Karnaim, ang mga Zuzita sa Ham, ang mga Emita sa Save-Kiryatam,
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
at ang mga Horeo sa kanilang bulubunduking bansa ng Seir, hanggang sa El Paran, na malapit sa desyerto.
7 Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
Pagkatapos lumiko sila at dumating sa Enmispat (tinatawag ding Kades), at tinalo ang lahat ng bansa ng mga Amalekita, pati na ang mga Amoreo na nanirahan sa Hasason Tamar.
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim.
Pagkatapos lumabas at naghanda para sa digmaan ang hari ng Sodoma, ang hari ng Gomorra, ang hari ng Adma, ang hari ng Zeboim, at ang hari ng Bela (tinatawag ding Zoar),
9 They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
laban kina Kedolaomer, hari ng Elam, Tidal, hari ng Goyim, Amrafel, hari ng Sinar, Arioc, hari ng Elasar; apat na mga hari laban sa lima.
10 There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.
Ngayon puno ng mga hukay na may alkitran ang lambak ng Sidim, at nang tumakas ang mga hari ng Sodoma at Gomorra, nahulog sila roon. Tumakas ang mga natira patungo sa mga kabundukan.
11 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
Kaya kinuha ng kaaway ang lahat ng mga kagamitan ng Sodoma at Gomorra at ang lahat ng kanilang mga panustos, at nagpatuloy sa kanilang landas.
12 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
Nang umalis sila, dinala rin nila si Lot, ang anak ng kapatid ni Abram na naninirahan sa Sodoma, kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang mga ari-arian.
13 But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies.
Pumunta at nagsalaysay ang isang nakatakas kay Abram na Hebreo. Naninirahan siya sa may mga kakahuyan na pagmamay-ari ni Mamre, na Amoreo, kapatid nina Escol at Aner, na pawang mga kakampi ni Abram.
14 When Abram found out that his nephew had been captured, he called together 318 fighting men who had been born in his household and chased after them all the way to Dan.
Ngayon nang marinig ni Abram na nabihag ng mga kaaway ang kaniyang kamag-anak, pinangunahan niya ang kaniyang tatlong daan at labing walong sinanay na tauhan, na ipinanganak sa kaniyang sambahayan, at tinugis niya sila hanggang sa Dan.
15 There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
Kinagabihan hinati niya ang kaniyang mga tauhan laban sa kanila at nilusob sila, at hinabol sila hanggang sa Hoba na nasa hilaga ng Damasco.
16 Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
Pagkatapos dinala niya ang lahat ng mga ari-arian, at dinala rin niya ang kaniyang kamag-anak na si Lot at ang kaniyang mga kagamitan, pati na rin ang mga kababaihan at ang iba pang mga tao.
17 When Abram returned after defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (or Valley of the King).
Matapos bumalik ni Abram mula sa pagtalo kina Kedorlaomer at sa mga hari na kasama niya, ang hari ng Sodoma ay lumabas para salubungin siya sa lambak ng Save (tinatawag ding Lambak ng Hari).
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
Naglabas si Melquisedec, hari ng Salem, ng tinapay at alak. Siya ay pari ng Kataastaasang Diyos.
19 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
Siya ay kaniyang pinagpala na nagsasabing, “Pagpalain ka Abram ng Kataastaasang Diyos, Manlilikha ng langit at lupa.
20 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
Pagpalain ang Kataastaasang Diyos, na siyang nagbigay ng iyong mga kaaway sa iyong kamay.” Pagkatapos ibinigay ni Abram sa kaniya ang ikasampu ng lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari.
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
Sinabi ng hari ng Sodoma kay Abram, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang mga tao, at kunin mo ang mga kagamitan para sa iyong sarili.”
22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth,
Sinabi ni Abram sa hari ng Sodoma, “Itinaas ko ang aking kamay kay Yahweh, sa Kataastaasang Diyos, Manlilikha ng langit at lupa,
23 that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
na hindi ako kukuha ng sinulid, sintas ng sandalyas, o anumang sa iyo, para ikaw ay hindi kailanman makapagsabing, “Ako ang nagpayaman kay Abram.'
24 I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
Wala akong kukunin maliban sa kung anong nakain ng mga kabataang lalaki at ang bahagi ng mga lalaking sumama sa akin. Hayaang mong kunin nina Aner, Escol, at Mamre ang kanilang bahagi.”
